"Eric is one of the best hosts you could ever dream to have! Even tho, there was a slight inconfort for us in the beginning, Eric insisted to make it right for us, it was wonderful! Seriously, this has been so relaxing for us, it took me one week to come back from this trip and write this review. The place is also right in the center, next to the canal, you'll be in the right place to visit the city! For sure, if we come back to Gent, we'll stay with him. Thank for everything! We look forward to our Antwerp at your other place!"

"B&B Schopenhauer is centrally located next to some great restaurants, bars and cultural locations. It's a perfect place to stay during a holiday in Ghent. Schopenhauer is both comfortable and unique, it's a really special place to stay. The hammam was top notch. We also felt very welcome. We met Eric briefly and he was really lovely. His recommendations were great. We will definitely stay again if we visit Ghent in the future."

Tadeusz Lindehof Serviced Flats
"As there was only two of us travelling we had the annex of the building. It did however provide us with great privacy and it was very comfortable. The host was very polite and helpful and said we could contact him if we needed anything. This is always good for a level of communication that makes you feel welcome."
Michele Holiday home Zelenachten
"The hospitality you get from the landlady is exceptional. The only downside of our stay is that we could not stay longer!"
